hr Azarkan: onderzoekers vinden geen grensoverschrijdend gedrag Kuzu By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 17:25:51 +0200 Een onderzoeksbureau heeft geen grensoverschrijdend gedrag vastgesteld bij de vroegere Denk-fractievoorzitter Kuzu. Dat zegt de huidige fractievoorzitter Azarkan na onderzoek door het bureau Integis. Binnen Denk woedt een machtsstrijd, die voor een deel te maken heeft met de positie van Kuzu. Die stapte in maart op als fractievoorzitter, naar later bleek in verband met de nasleep van berichten over een eerdere buitenechtelijke affaire met een vrouw. Kuzu beschuldigde partijvoorzitter (en fractiegenoot) Öztürk van een poging tot politieke broedermoord omdat hij verhalen over de affaire naar buiten zou hebben gebracht. De discussie spitste zich erop toe dat Kuzu grensoverschrijdend gedrag zou hebben gepleegd. Bureau sprak niet met de vrouw Na het opstappen van Kuzu werd Azarkan fractievoorzitter en die heeft een onderzoek laten instellen. Daarvan zijn nu dus de resultaten naar buiten gekomen. Volgens Azarkan heeft het bureau Integis omgevingsonderzoek gedaan, openbare bronnen geraadpleegd en interviews afgenomen. De vrouw heeft geen aangifte tegen Kuzu gedaan. Volgens Azarkan was de vrouw niet bereid aan het onderzoek mee te werken en "feiten te presenteren om de door haar in de media geuite beschuldigingen te staven." Azarkan stelt dat er nu duidelijkheid is, en dat de beschuldiging van grensoverschrijdend gedrag niet kan worden gestaafd. Hij vindt dat het partijbestuur onder leiding van voorzitter Öztürk al in 2018 onderzoek had moeten doen. Kuzu zelf zegt zich door de uitkomsten van het onderzoek gesterkt te voelen. Hij benadrukt dat hij de beschuldigingen over grensoverschrijdend gedrag steeds pertinent onwaar heeft genoemd. "Ik ga met alles wat ik in mij heb door met het vertegenwoordigen van onze kiezers", voegt hij eraan toe. Overigens loopt er ook nog een ander onderzoek naar de gang van zaken. Dat is niet ingesteld door de fractie, maar door het partijbestuur onder leiding van Öztürk. Het bestuur zette Azarkan deze week uit de partij, maar deze is niet van plan zijn werk neer te leggen. Kuzu steunt Azarkan. Full Article

In 1807 Beethoven was commissioned and responded with his Mass in C major. Coolly received at court, it is a celebratory work of large-scale brilliance. The cantata Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt is set to Goethe’s poems and contrasts calm with exuberance. In 1803 Beethoven set two numbers from Vestas Feuer, written by Emanuel Schikaneder, the librettist of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Full Article

Traveling the backroads of America from coast to coast with a guitar and harmonica, Woody Guthrie performed folk songs of love, wandering and social justice during the Great Depression and the Second World War. Daugherty has composed his own original songs and instrumental interludes that give haunting expression, ironic wit and contemporary relevance to political, social and environmental themes from Guthrie’s era. Under the baton of GRAMMY Award-winning conductor David Alan Miller, the Albany Symphony’s new music ensemble Dogs of Desire, joined by soprano Annika Socolofsky and baritone John Daugherty, give a poignant and rousing performance.

In particular, he found a rich source of arrangements in Vienna, where he commissioned first Haydn and then Beethoven to set a large sequence of poems, including those of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Thomson envisaged simple works, agreeable to amateurs, but Beethoven found it impossible to compose within such limitations and his settings, which include Irish and Welsh songs, with the accompaniment of strings and piano, have proved perennially popular.
